The Bastion

This was my second time to stay in the Bastion Hotel. It's a great place to stay. It's very close to Sean's Bar and the Castle Inn. Rooms are comfortable and clean. They do not provide breakfast but there is a selection of teas and coffee available as well as fruit and buns. There is a restaurant across the road. On Sunday morning the Bailey restaurant is closest as others near are closed. It has a welcoming bohemian atmosphere and I felt at home. Prices are reasonable even if you stay at the weekend. I would definitely stay here again. The owners are very friendly too.

This is the best I have ever stayed in. 
Spotlessly clean. Comfy beds and so close to everywhere!! Really friendly , helpful hosts. This is my second time staying here and again it didn’t disappoint -well done 
5 star all round! 


I booked the b&b on a whim and I’m so glad I did. The rooms are simple but very comfortable and the lounge was a fantastic. It was so nice to have a space to sit and chat with the friends I was travelling with. I absolutely loved the decor and the location was perfect to! I cannot recommend it enough. 

Had the Greatest Wedding EVER nearby and stayed in The Bastion. Anthony here is a real gent and the accommodation just perfect. Spotless, comfortable and utterly homely. Absolutely recommend. Fabulous location and  price too. 

everything was wonderful.
great location 
nice room, and good size,  was perfect.
The decor ... reveals an extreme good taste
would highly reccomend and we will be returning. 
thank you for the pleasant stay

This is the place to stay in Athlone!  Location is perfect, just around the corner from Athlone Castle and Sean’s Bar and a 10-15 min walk from the train station.  Anthony and Vinny were great hosts, available for questions when needed, but also offer self check-in which is incredibly convenient.  The loft room (and the B&B in general) has so much character, which is what makes it a wonderful alternative to a standard hotel.  The room was incredibly clean and inviting and so spacious.  I would absolutely without hesitation stay here again the next time I’m in Athlone.

Hard to be situated any better place.  Anthony was super helpful and patient.  Not only did he help me with my bags, but came right over to help me with an internet issue I was having with my computer.  Not once did he make me feel like I was being a bother.  If you are sensitive to noise, it might not be the best place for you, but if like me it doesn't bother you, keep the windows open and enjoy the nice breeze you get through the apartment.  The only suggestion I have would be a microwave would be a great addition to the loft.  Even so with it not having one, it is not a deal-breaker.  I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and your lovely town.  Btw... for those debating on east or west bank options...it is an easy 10 walk to any of the east bank attractions.

This place has so much charm and is clearly a labor of love judging by the collection of eclectic decor and how clean everything is kept. I was made to feel very at home by Anthony which was such a relief after spending a few nights at bargain hostels in Galway prior to my stay in Athlone. I was very happy with my comfortable bed, bright room, and strong space heater. Anthony was even nice enough to offer to keep my company at Sean's Bar when I wanted to go (I was traveling alone). I went for one beer and a t-shirt and didn't end up staying so I didn't take him up on the offer, but it had been very kind of him.

The location of the place is perfect, too. The cafe across the street is a great lunch spot with decent prices, and the Italian place a few doors down form the B&B does an absolutely amazing carbonara. There were too many options in the area for me to try them all for my short stay, but I know there is an Indian and a Thai place for a little variety—all within easy walking distance. The nearest grocery store I found was the Tesco about a 15 minute walk away.

I wasn't in Athlone for long and would love to visit again whenever I get around to traveling to Ireland again, and I would definitely book here again.

We are so happy to have found this place.  It's a gem!  So artfully decorated, very clean, and comfortable.  Breakfast is a help-yourself arrangement with lots of fresh fruit and simple biscuits and muffins, as well as ground espresso for making your own French press coffee.  The staff are welcoming and interesting to talk with.  And don't forget to visit the gift shop next door and the cafe across the street.  Both are wonderful, as is this B&B.

The room was fine, and I especially liked the guest kitchen for boiling a kettle, and having a fridge available for milk, fruit etc. The hosts were extremely helpful with recommendations and tips for the area. I would definitely stay here again. And the Bastion Kitchen has great food!

Best place to stay in Athlone

A perfect little gem 

Relaxing, charming, filled with character!

Location, location, location!

Incredibly charming and great location.

What a find!

Fantastic - would highly recommend

100% Recommend

what an amazing place

Pleasant room but a little tight with respect to space. Room was clean with decent lighting.  Kitchen was nice to have a cup of tea/coffee and sit around.  No breakfast provided but there is a decent spot across the street.

Centrally located.  Street parking close to the property.
